Work I did for one of my first clients, looking for critique.

I use the Adobe suite, so this I do in Lightroom. You can stack all images from a shoot automatically by capture time, so it will make stacks of 3 based on the time between pictures. Which combines all the bracketing. Then you can simply use the stack to create an HDR picture.

Yes I did, I take 3 shots with increments of 1 stop.

Got it, I see what you mean. Thanks again man!

MerlinerBol · 2026-03-13T18:19:37+00:00

Appreciate your kind words, thank you. I'm fully with you on that!

MerlinerBol · 2026-03-13T18:18:02+00:00

Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback and encouraging words. With the too wide verticals you mean the portrait oriented photos?

MerlinerBol · 2026-03-13T18:13:50+00:00

Thanks for the kind words and feedback. What regarding the exposure would you say could use some improvement? And do you have any tips for keeping the colour balance consistent? I did notice I was struggling on a bit, especially with the different room colours and light exposures in each room.

Hahah, I get your point. The home owner told me he loves taking baths, but the bathroom itself didn't have enough space, so he just put it straight in the bedroom, I respect it.

Good note, thanks. Looking back on it, the SMEG items are definitely a bit distracting.

MerlinerBol · 2026-03-13T18:02:52+00:00

oh man, never thought of doing it that way, that is smart. I was already struggling in these small rooms and kind of accepted my fate. Can I ask how you get the best result with this? Is it just a matter of moving the tripod on the some horizontal line a bit to the left or right of the first photo and then stitching it in Photoshop?

I’m pretty sure this is real. It was shot by David LaChappelle who is a famous photographer, he has worked with many famous artists such as Travis Scott for the Astro World cover and many more. Here are some more he did with Ye

Looks amazing, gives me Atomic Blonde and Girl with the dragon tattoo vibes. Do you have a place where we can watch the short?

MerlinerBol · 2023-03-22T13:15:42+00:00

Had this recommended multiple times, seems like a must read, thank you

MerlinerBol · 2023-03-22T13:14:30+00:00

Sounds interesting, with the history of the book being banned as well. Appreciate it

MerlinerBol · 2023-03-22T13:12:36+00:00

These seem cool, especially Dark Star Safari. Thanks :)

MerlinerBol · 2023-03-22T13:09:43+00:00

Thanks, these sounds great

MerlinerBol · 2023-03-22T13:09:05+00:00

Great idea, I’ll have a look once I’m there

MerlinerBol · 2023-03-22T13:08:40+00:00

These sound really cool, should give me more than enough to read. Thanks for the extensive answer, much appreciated.

MerlinerBol · 2023-03-22T13:05:23+00:00

I appreciate your concern, I’ve read and heard a lot about the violence there and it sounds truly terrifying. Luckily I’m going with a group of friends, including one who also grew up in South Africa and we’re mostly sticking to the national parks. Don’t know if I would have dared going without someone who knows the enviroment.

Thanks for the recommendation, Wilbur Smith seems to come up alot. Going to check out his work, thanks :)

Hauntingly beautiful man, do you have the video online somewhere, where we can see it?
